A trip to Sula Vineyards in Nashik, Maharashtra, was organized as part of an industrial tour for the second-year students of the 2022-2025 batch. Founded in 1998, it is a winery & vineyard that holds a market share of almost 70% in the Indian wine industry and has admirably developed into a world-class winery. The students were given a tour in order to have a better understanding of viticulture and the vinification process.
During the tour, they were accompanied by a guide who regaled them with the fascinating story of how a wine is born, from the grape's beginnings as a fruit to its conclusion as a fermented beverage contained in a bottle. Witnessing the stockroom where the wine is stored in huge oak barrels was a cherry on the cake. The students had a relaxing night at the hotel, and the following day they were out to explore the city and drove down to Sahyadri Farm to Mohadi, Nashik, Maharashtra. Embarking on this tour provided them with a direct source of knowledge and acquainted them with first-hand information which is stimulating and helps create episodic memory which is the need of the hour.
